azraelz_angelSo, I learned last night that my Grandmother (my dad's mother) is more of a basketcase, crazy woman then I originally had thought.
She told us about this telemarketer that called, from The March of Dimes (a good charity organization). Apparently my Grandmother answered the phone, said 'hello' three times before the telemarketer on the other end said 'hello' for the first time.
My Grandmother then told the telemarketer that she had said 'hello' to her three times already, and then blew a whistle in her ear before hanging up. A whistle, over the phone, in the poor March of Dimes' lady's ear! WTF Grandmom?
Apparently my Grandmother was given this idea by one of her old lady friends, who suggested keeping a whistle by the phone for obscene phone calls. I don't consider a nice lady from the March of Dimes obscene. I'm just glad I wasn't on the other end of the phone - I would have been pissed... and deaf!!!
It's times like this that makes me really miss my Mom-Mom (Mom's mom) who passed away a few years ago.
